SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : 
Title: Mechanically Tenderized Beef 
Products. 
OMB Number: 0583–0160. 
Expiration Date of Approval: 7/31/ 
2021. 
Type of Request: Renewal of an 
approved information collection. 
Abstract: FSIS has been delegated the 
authority to exercise the functions of the 
Secretary (7 CFR 2.18, 2.53), as specified in the Federal Meat Inspection Act (FMIA) (21 U.S.C. 601, et seq.), and the Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA) (21 U.S.C. 451, et seq.). These statutes mandate that FSIS protect the public by verifying that meat and poultry products are safe, wholesome, unadulterated, and properly labeled and packaged. 
FSIS is requesting renewal of an 
approved information collection regarding the labeling requirements for mechanically tenderized beef products. There are no changes to the existing information collection. The approval for this information collection will expire 
on July 31, 2021. 
FSIS regulations require the use of the 
descriptive designation ‘‘mechanically tenderized’’ on the labels of raw or partially cooked needle—or blade— tenderized beef products, including beef products injected with marinade or solution, unless these products are to be fully cooked at an official establishment. 
The Agency also requires that the product name for the beef products include the descriptive designation ‘‘mechanically tenderized’’ and an accurate description of the beef component (9 CFR 317.2(e)(3)). Establishments that use these labels on product do not have to submit them to FSIS for approval prior to use provided such labels comply with 9 CFR 412.2. Retail facilities that use these labels on product do not have to submit them to FSIS for approval prior to use. 
FSIS has made the following 
estimates based upon an information collection assessment: 
Estimate of burden: The public 
reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average .5833 hours per response. 
Estimated annual number of 
respondents: 555. 
Estimated average number of 
responses per respondent: 60.908. 
Estimated annual number of 
responses: 33,804. 
Estimated Total Annual Burden on 
Respondents: 19,719 hours. Copies of 
this information collection assessment can be obtained from Gina Kouba, Office of Policy and Program Development, Food Safety and Inspection Service, USDA, 1400 Independence SW, Mailstop 3758, South Building, Washington, DC 20250; (202)720–5627.

summarized and included in the request for OMB approval. All comments will also become a matter of public record.

Title: Special Supplemental Nutrition 
Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) Regulations—Reporting and Record- keeping Burden. 
Form Number: FNS–683B (under 
OMB Control Number 0584–0594) is associated with this collection. 
OMB Number: 0584–0447. 
Expiration Date: May 31, 2021. Type of Request: Revision of a 
currently approved collection. 
Abstract: The WIC Farmers’ Market 
Nutrition Program (FMNP) is associated 
with the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children, also known as WIC. The WIC Program provides supplemental foods, health care referrals, and nutrition education at no cost to low- income pregnant, breastfeeding and non-breastfeeding post-partum women, and to infants and children up to 5 years of age, who are found to be at nutritional risk. The purpose of the WIC Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) is to provide fresh, nutritious, unprepared, locally grown fruits and vegetables through farmers’ markets and 
roadside stands to WIC participants, and to expand awareness and use of, and sales at, farmers’ markets and roadside stands. Currently, FMNP operates through State health departments in 39 States, 6 Indian Tribal Organizations, District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. 
Section 17(m)(8) of the Child 
Nutrition Act of 1966 (42 U.S.C. 1786(m)(8)), and the WIC Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) regulations at 7 CFR part 248 require that certain program-related information be collected and that full and complete records concerning FMNP operations are maintained. The information reporting and record-keeping burdens are necessary to ensure appropriate and efficient management of the FMNP. These burden activities are covered by this Information Collection Request (ICR) which include requirements that involve the authorization and monitoring of State agencies; the certification of FMNP participants; the nutrition education that is provided to participants; farmer and market authorization, monitoring, and management; and financial and participation data (using WIC Farmers Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) Annual Financial and Program Data Report (FNS 683B), which is approved (both the form and its associated reporting burden) under OMB Control Number: 0584–0594 Food Programs Reporting System (FPRS), Expiration Date: 07/31/2023). Recordkeeping burden associated with this form is not approved under OMB Control Number 0584–0594. State agencies must maintain records in order to support data reported in FPRS, and the recordkeeping burden for such record maintenance is captured in this ICR, OMB Control Number: 0584–0447. State plans are the principal source of information about how each State agency operates its FMNP. Information from participants and local agencies is collected through State-developed forms or Management Information Systems. The information collected is used by the Department of Agriculture/Food and Nutrition Service to manage, plan, evaluate, make decisions and report on FMNP program operations. Along with the State Plans, State agencies also submit the Federal-State Supplemental Nutrition Programs Agreements (FNS– 339) whose reporting and recordkeeping burden is associated and approved under OMB Control Number: 0584– 0332, Expiration Date: 04/30/2022. 
This information collection is 
requesting a revision in the burden 
hours due to program changes and
